Warwick vs Viego

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Warwick's early dueling and sustain let him contest Scuttle and river fights before Viego hits key resets.
Prioritize early aggression around low-health lanes to leverage Warwick's strong level 3 and (R) suppression.
This matchup is a snowball contest where Warwick must deny Viego resets and maintain objective control.

Jungle Plan

Path to volatile lanes with low-health targets to maximize (W) tracking and force fights where Warwick's sustain outlasts Viego.
Fight for early Scuttle and river control when lanes can collapse, using Warwick's high invade resistance to punish Viego's slower clears.
Counter-gank around Viego's first pressure by tracking his path and leveraging Warwick's fear and suppression for picks and objective setups.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting when (E) is on cooldown, as Warwick loses key damage reduction and fear to absorb burst.
Be cautious contesting isolated river fights where Viego can use (E) camouflage and (W) stun to start resets.
Respect Viego's level 6 (R) timing, as his execute and repositioning increase threat in skirmishes and objective fights.

Early game

Start with a full clear aiming to reach level 3 quickly and pressure Scuttle before Viego arrives.
Contest first river Scuttle aggressively when nearby lanes have priority to leverage Warwick's dueling and sustain.
Avoid isolated early fights without lane support to reduce risk against Viego's stun and reset potential.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full kit, enabling Warwick to win extended duels by absorbing burst with (E) and healing with (Q).
Level 6 (R) allows Warwick to suppress key targets, forcing picks or all-ins before Viego can reset.
First dueling or tank item spikes Warwick's sustain and durability, increasing his ability to contest objectives and extended fights.

Win conditions

Use Warwick's sustain and dueling strength to secure early river control and deny Viego resets by winning skirmishes.
Convert early kills and Scuttle control into dragon and Rift Herald setups with lane priority and vision dominance.
Track Viego's pathing to counter-gank effectively, using (R) suppression to lock down targets and snowball leads into objective control.
